Ryan Pinder, the director of broadcasting and media relations for the Penticton Vees, was on the scene when the baby Flames were in Penticton for the recent prospect tournament. He was good enough to snaps some pics and send them our way for publishing.

Lance Bouma and Greg Nemisz get ready during some pre-game skates.

Mikael Backlund apparently wore a letter for this contest.

Bryan Cameron in front of the Oilers net. That's the area from where he scored a lot of goals in junior.

Looks like Backs is trying to pick up the puck here.

Thanks again to Ryan for the snapshots. You can follow him on Twitter here. He also blogs about the Vees here.

In other news, Flamesnation will continue to cover the pre-season this week. Expect our NW division previews and a discussion of TJ Brodie and Miikka Kiprusoff before the puck drops as well. We also have a special guest post on Jarome Iginla and the Flames offense upcoming.
